York for thirty years. He died in 1692, the year St.
Saviourgate chapel was built. Mr. Ward was succeeded
immediately by his son-in-law, Dr. Thomas Coulton, edu
cated at Leyden, who continued minister of St. Saviourgate
chapel for almost forty years. Dr. Coulton died 15th of
December, 1731, and was succeeded by John Hotham.
Mr. Hotham appears to have been* assisted by Mr. John
Brook, ofYarmouth, and sometime ofNorwich, from 1732,
until 1735, when Mr. Brook died ; and after the death of
this colleague, by Mr. John Root; who died June, 1755.
In November, 1755, Mr. Newcome Cappe, a native of
Leeds, son of the Rev. Joseph Cappe, many years minister
of Mill-hill chapel was chosenf co-pastor with Mr. Ho
tham over the Presbyterian congregation at St. Saviourgate
chapel. Mr. Cappe had been a pupil at the academy of
Dr. Doddridge at Northampton ; but subsequently spent
three years in Glasgow. On the death of Mr. Hotham
in 1756, he became sole pastor. During Mr. Cappe's min
istry in York, he was frequently assisted by Mr. Edward
Sandercock, independent minister, successively the pastor
of two congregational churches in London. In 1792, the
age of Mr. Cappe rendered it necessary that he should have
assistance, and in that year the Rev. Charles Welbeloved
settled in York as assistant minister, and became pastor
in 1800, when Mr. Cappe died. In 1803, the Unitarian
college of Manchester was removed to York, and the Rev.
C. Welbeloved accepted the chair of theology. Subse
quently the Rev. John Kennerick, M. A., became classical
tutor, and the Rev. W. Hinks, F. L. S., mathematical
tutor ; both assisting in the ministrations at St. Saviourgate
chapel. In 1840, Manchester college was withdrawn from
York and transferred to its original position ; and the
